MK1 Dash Display
Discussion
Hi
Took mine apart, cleaned it and reseated it. Clamped it back down and now it is almost perfect.
/connector. Thanks to RICH192 for help as well.
I think the route cause for the failure is that vibration or age causes the display to move relative to the pads, that then causes the lines. If I can repair permanently then I will document and put up a sticky. Only do if your dash is buggered though as you have nothing to lose. The display is held in place by pressure from the case and I think that this loosen over time. Mine is only a couple of years old looking at the numbers.

Beat me to it!
I have one or two lines left but it was a rush job the first time round. I did it blind as the display was buggered anyway and had nothing to loose. The way the display is held together is very bad, and it should be sealed to stop the dust/damp penetrating. My screen couldn't have been more than 2 years old looking at the build number.
All good fun though!
